Additional Accommodation Details
ESCAPADE is a top-spec BALI 5.4 flagship that turns generous space into a true luxury experience. With over 1,350 sq. ft. of intelligently designed living, panoramic views, and multiple lounge zones, every seat feels like the best one onboard. Standout features include a 48V lithium battery system that powers silent overnight A/C without the generator, plus a hydraulic swim platform that becomes a private beach club for swimming, lounging, and easy water access.
Accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 main cabins, ESCAPADE offers 1 master queen cabin with dual entrances to the salon and aft deck, making it easy to step straight from the bedroom toward the ocean. The 3 additional double cabins are roomy and spacious with full bathrooms, two of which include separate showers. All main cabins have full A/C with individually controlled temperatures, and a small single cabin with deck-hatch access is available on request, ideal for a child or teenager.
The flybridge, foredeck, and aft cockpit flow seamlessly for social days, breezy dinners, and under-the-stars meals from the wood-fired grill. Snorkel gear, fishing gear, a tube, wakeboard, and two Subnados add plenty of ways to enjoy the water, making ESCAPADE spacious, quiet, and superbly dialed in for island time.

Beyond the natural beauty of the water and islands, the beauty of the Escapade cannot be understated, as it was professionally maintained, clean, spacious, outfitted with all of the necessary water toys and provided A/C for nighttime sleeping.
The trip was enhanced "ten-fold" by the exceptional hospitality provided by Mitch and Emma, who consistently went beyond the norm in making the experience great. Emma's culinary skills were amazing and Mitch's intimate knowledge of the islands helped maximize our coverage of a very busy itinerary.
My family will forever be grateful for this wonderful experience.

From the moment we stepped on board, the service, attention to detail, and overall experience were absolutely top-notch. Captain Mitch created the perfect itinerary, and Chef Emma’s meals were nothing short of amazing, every dish was a highlight.
If you're even thinking about booking a charter like this, don’t hesitate, just do it. You won’t regret it!

New Years Charter Reviews onboard Escapade
While Luke worked extremely hard to provide wonderful spots to explore. Chloe made one amazing meal after another. Luke offered great water toys, a day of tubing, bonfire on the beach for sunset and Snuba. This team was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous BVI vacation.
Crew Review - Dream Trip in USVI and BVI
Chef Chloe created a lovely dining experience aboard our yacht. Her dishes and presentation are an expressions of creativity and passion that leave a lasting impression. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every dish. Last but certainly not least was her lemon cheesecake—that can only be described as heavenly. It was smooth, silky and light with a soft lemon flavor that will forever linger in my memory. The perfect ending to a flawless evening and meal. I really hated to leave. I'lI miss the scenery, the boat, but most of all our two new friends.
